Improve Project Collaboration, Productivity and Performance with ACCE Insights
Current estimating practices are focused on single users and their own individual database. If they want to show results to other parties, they would need to generate new document-based reports each time that the estimator receives new feedback. Aspen Capital Cost Estimator Insights ™ extends the value of Aspen Enterprise Insights by allowing users to improve estimating practices in a company, by creating a central hub for real time updates for the project to all the relevant parties.
Introduction to 3D Conceptual Layout
Developing a 3D conceptual layout is critical during the pre-FEED and FEED stages of a project to optimize and validate the design and to support a cost estimate. OptiPlant 3D is the leading automated conceptual design tool to develop a multi-discipline layout. Leveraging existing data from process simulation or a cost project, this excel data can be imported into OptiPlant to automate the 3D parametric modeling of equipment and structures. From there automatic pipe routing, electrical routing, and foundation calculations can complete the 3D layout and generates bulk material quantities.

Introduce scheduling workflows in Aspen Unified Scheduling (AUS) for refinery schedulers. The course covers the basic Unified Scheduling capabilities, including Scheduling Work Area, Gantt Chart Functionalities, Scheduling Logics, Case Management and Schedule Optimization.
Increase Production System Reliability with Aspen Fidelis ™ and Synergies with APM products
Increase Production System Reliability and Understand the costs and benefits of making such changes drives the decision-making process. Use Fidelis features such as turn-ups, warehouse sparing, cold standby redundancy, usage of Fidelis Utility and advanced features related to submodels and custom key routines. Introduce Fidelis synergies with two other APM products: Aspen Mtell® and Aspen Event Analytics ™. Aspen Mtell can predict future mechanical failures for which Fidelis can quantify their impact on your system performance. Aspen Event Analytics can discover patterns in your sensors data to identify events that you can then include in Fidelis models.
Build-an-Agent with Aspen ProMV ™ and APM synergies
Build a batch and continuous process agent and then deploy the agent online and will discuss how Mtell and ProMV can complement each other's ability to alert for process anomalies and prompt operations to respond most effectively. The last session covers how Event Analytics ability to troubleshoot alerts when history is lacking complements ProMV's alerts based on history.
Process Safety is of vital importance as it helps prevent major disasters involving the consequences of releases of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals. Pressurized equipment in a chemical plant must be protected against overpressure scenarios (e.g., fire emergencies, control valve failure, tube rupture of shell-and-tube heat exchangers, etc.) with pressure relief devices (PRDs). Furthermore, documentation needs to be prepared for all pressure safety valves (PSVs), rupture disks and storage tank vent valves, as it plays an important role in Process Safety Management.
Combine AI and First Principles to Improve Model Performance
Process industries are rapidly implementing AI and Machine Learning to capture the benefits while overcoming the challenges of traditional models. AspenTech Hybrid Models ™ is enabling the process industries to reduce operating costs, understand difficult processes, perform production transition to new products and improve product quality.
Calibrate and Deploy Online Models for Digital Twin
First principle process model has been used to support plant operation in the process industry. The model must be calibrated with plant data before it can be used to reliably and accurately predict the plant performance. Plant Data feature in Aspen Plus and Aspen HYSYS enables simulation user to import plant data from either Excel or data historian, condition raw data, run model with conditioned plant data, and then deploy the model online. In this course you will build a Plant Digital Twin solution for Emissions Monitoring.
Unlock New Features of Aspen DMC3 ™ Controllers to Improve Plant Profits
Organizations can improve operating margins across the enterprise with greater visibility into APC benefits and performance with Centralized Performance Monitoring. The new Calibrate engine (Calibrate 2.0) simplifies the model update process with more intuitive configuration to maintain Aspen DMC3 controller benefits. The new non-linear capabilities of Aspen DMC3 enables extending Aspen DMC3 controller features and functionality to non-linear processes. Organizations can now use one platform and technology for both linear and non-linear processes, drastically reducing the learning curve and simplifying maintenance. Apply these new Aspen DMC3 features to improve APC benefits and simplify deployments.
Introduction to Deep Learning for Aspen Inferentials Quality™ (IQ)

Deep Learning nonlinear models provide accurate inference of process and quality variables across a wide range of operating conditions. Aspen Watch Performance Monitor™ is fully supported to leverage reports and dashboards and monitor KPIs in real time for inferentials including Deep Learning models.
Introduction to Aspen Batch APC™
Advanced Process Control has been a reality in the continuous process industry for over 25 years. However, the application of advanced control technologies to the Batch industry has been scattered and mostly concentrated on the batch monitoring. There are many challenges involved in controlling and optimizing a batch process such as nonlinear time-varying, quality variables available only after completion of batch and manipulated variables have very different effects at different times during the batch. In this context, there is an opportunity to better control product qualities at specified targets and optimize batch cycle times by implementing an advanced control strategy that can predict final product quality and optimize decision variables. This course is an introduction to Aspen Batch APC technology. You will learn how to model and control the final product quality of batch products to reduce product quality variation, increase productivity per batch and reduce batch cycle times.
Using Dynamic Optimization to Align Process Operations with Plant-wide Economics
